I have a '91 super cab and the car seat fits with the passenger side split bench folded forward. If my wife is going with she as to sit in the back with my daughter. I am 6'1" and so the seat has to be all the way back for me. Crew cab would be easier but you can make a super cab work.

It all boils down to how often the kids will be in the truck. I have a '95 Super Cab and have our three in there but only when we go to Lowes or to get mulch as a family. Otherwise it's the Caravan.
My biggest issue is that there's just a lap belt in the middle which is fine now because the 4yo is there in a car seat. As soon as she needs a shoulder belt, I'm screwed because I won't let my little girl ride around with just a lap belt on.
"But a lap belt only was fine for us when we were kids" I hear... Well so was riding my bike to the store by myself when I was 9 but i sure as hell ain't letting my kids do that in 2015.

Good point, and an OBS crew cab doesn't get around that either. If you need 5 (or more) shoulder harnesses you're stuck getting a newer truck or doing some serious fab work.

I found a nice clean crew cab. Its a 94 F350 with a 460. It's a California truck but has been in Ohio for the last 2 years. This truck unbelievably clean underneath. The Banks stickers/ emblems are for the cold air intake, longtube headers and full banks exhaust.
Next to the 250
Then hit a deer on one of my first trips to work with it. Hit it at 60-70 MPH not to bad of damage for the speed.
Working on Cleaning the truck up, removing some items and added a new front bumper from where I hit the deer. I plan on re tinting the windows as the tint was faded and purple.

His post is on his new F350 CC. He took pictures of it by his old F-250 (which he shows along way back in post #1)

Good call on the crew cab. I remember when I was little my dad bought a brand new extended cab. Worked for a while but the seats when they were at a normal position for my dad who was only 5' 8" was against my feet And was causing constant pain when riding in the truck at about 3 or 4 years old. He ended up selling it and getting a crew cab which we kept all through my childhood and loved it. Wasn't much longer and was very spacious. Also helped if you had to haul more than 2 adults they actually had the room

I got by just fine with my 89 extended cab. When my kids got older I would have liked to move up to a crew cab, but never did. I think when they're small, it's easier to reach back and help them when they drop their bottle etc
